The song "Lola" by The Kinks was banned by the BBC not because of its mention of a transgender or cross-dressing theme, but due to the inclusion of a trademarked brand name—"Coca-Cola"—in its lyrics. The BBC had a strict policy against brand names in songs to avoid any form of advertising. As a result, The Kinks had to re-record the song changing "Coca-Cola" to "cherry cola" for it to be allowed airplay. Despite the ban and controversy, "Lola" became a groundbreaking hit that challenged social norms and addressed themes of love and gender identity in 1970.
